(TSXV: DBO.A), a leader in innovative motion technology, announced today that it has reached a fourth agreement with Sony Pictures Entertainment ("Sony Pictures") to feature D-BOX Motion Code™ with Battle: Los Angeles in select theatres March 11, 2011.  The deal follows successful partnerships on blockbuster films 2012, Resident Evil: Afterlife, and The Green Hornet.
